Building Rural Community Resilience Through Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Drawing from empirical analyses, case studies, and a synthesis of best practices, this book explores how innovation manifests itself in rural places and how it contributes to entrepreneurial development and resilience.Innovation in rural places may come about as a result of new forms of collaboration; policies that leverage rural assets and address critical service or product gaps; novel strategies for accessing financial capital; infusion of arts into aspects of community life; and cultivation of networks that bridge entrepreneurs, organizations, and institutions.The chapters illustrate how a number of innovation-related characteristics relate to economic vibrancy in rural places such as a strong connection to the arts, adaptive and sustainable use of natural resources, value-chain integrated food systems, robust bridging social capital networks, creative leveraging of technology, and presence of innovation-focused entrepreneurs.Through exploration of these and other topics, this book will provide insights and best practices for rural community and economic development scholars and practitioners seeking to strengthen the rural innovation ecosystem.

What is actually the Germanic race or the Aryan race?
The term "Germanic race" or "Aryan race" has been historically used to describe a supposed superior race of people of Northern European descent. This concept was popularized by Nazi ideology in the 20th century, promoting the idea of a pure Aryan race as the ideal and superior race. However, these ideas have been widely discredited by modern science and are considered to be based on false and racist beliefs. It is important to recognize that race is a social construct with no scientific basis, and all humans are fundamentally equal regardless of their ancestry.

University City : History, Race, and Community in the Era of the Innovation District
A chronicle of neighborhood redevelopment politics in West Philadelphia over 60 yearsIn twenty-first-century American cities, policy makers increasingly celebrate university-sponsored innovation districts as engines of inclusive growth.But the story is not so simple. In University City, Laura Wolf-Powers chronicles five decades of planning in and around the communities of West Philadelphia’s University City to illuminate how the dynamics of innovation district development in the present both depart from and connect to the politics of mid-twentieth-century urban renewal.Drawing on archival and ethnographic research, Wolf-Powers concludes that even as university and government leaders vow to develop without displacement, what existing residents value is imperiled when innovation-driven redevelopment remains accountable to the property market. The book first traces the municipal and institutional politics that empowered officials to demolish a predominantly Black neighborhood near the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University in the late 1960s to make way for the University City Science Center and University City High School.It also provides new insight into organizations whose members experimented during that same period with alternative conceptions of economic advancement.The book then shifts to the present, documenting contemporary efforts to position university-adjacent neighborhoods as locations for prosperity built on scientific knowledge.Wolf-Powers examines the work of mobilized civic groups to push cultural preservation concerns into the public arena and to win policies to help economically insecure families keep a foothold in changing neighborhoods. Placing Philadelphia’s innovation districts in the context of similar development taking place around the United States, University City advocates a reorientation of redevelopment practice around the recognition that despite their negligible worth in real estate terms, the time, care, and energy people invest in their local environments—and in one another—are precious urban resources. ***Pictured on the book's cover is a luncheon on Melon Street between 37th and 38th Streets in West Philadelphia, May 31, 2014.The community meal was part of Funeral for a Home, a project that honored the life and passing of a house at 3711 Melon Street in Mantua.Photo by Jeffrey Stockbridge.

Race Technology DASH2 Race And Road Dashboard
The Race Technology Dash 2 is a compact, robust, water resistant display unit for road, racing and vehicle testing applications, which can be used either as a standalone dash unit, or when linked to a Race Technology GPS data logger becomes a dash display with real time data display and functions, including speed, RPM, sensor readings and lap/sector times with predictive lap times. It is ideal for demanding applications from single seaters to a professional engineering environments.The Dash 2 either reads from sensors connected directly to the unit or via external sensors from a data logger. The data for each channel is then converted to the users preferred units and displayed on the screen (for example you could display exhaust gas temperature and oil pressure, then set your own high/low warning levels for each of the channels). The Dash 2 also negated the need for a track side beacon as it displays highly accurate lap and sector times - all calculated from GPS data.When used in stand-alone mode, the Dash 2 can monitor up to four analogue inputs. It has inputs for engine speed (RPM), vehicles speed, a non-resettable odometer and warning lights for full road legal operation.When the Dash 2 is connected to a Race Technology data logger, it can then be further configured to display many more parameters including real time lap and sector times calculated from GPS data, any available analogue measurements (temperatures, pressures etc), RPM, wheel/shaft speeds etc. The actual data displayed can be set up for the users specific requirements, including independent alarms for all channels. Please note: It is necessary to connect four external buttons to the Dash 2 to operate the menu system and select different display screens (buttons are not supplied with the Dash 2, but any momentary dash mounted/steering wheel button will suffice).Kit Contents: Dash 2 Display Unit Wiring loom with connectors to attach dash to a data logger or PC 1 metre serial lead extension Full Instruction manual Comprehensive instruction manual Mounting template Carrying case (with foam cut interior)

Why is there no bicycle race structured like a car race?
There are several reasons why bicycle races are not structured like car races. Firstly, bicycles are human-powered vehicles, so the speed and endurance of the riders are limited compared to cars. This means that the format of a car race, with long continuous laps, would not be practical for a bicycle race. Additionally, the size and maneuverability of bicycles make it more suitable for a course with tight turns and varied terrain, rather than the wide, smooth tracks used for car races. Finally, the safety considerations for bicycle races are different from those for car races, as the potential for injury is higher for cyclists. Therefore, the structure and format of bicycle races are tailored to the unique characteristics and limitations of the sport.

Which race in Skyrim?
In Skyrim, there are ten playable races to choose from: Nord, Imperial, Breton, Redguard, High Elf, Wood Elf, Dark Elf, Orc, Khajiit, and Argonian. Each race has its own unique abilities and bonuses, so the best race for a player to choose depends on their preferred playstyle and the type of character they want to role-play. Some players may prefer the Nord for their resistance to cold and battle prowess, while others may choose the High Elf for their magical abilities. Ultimately, the best race in Skyrim is subjective and depends on the individual player's preferences.

What is race music?
Race music is a term that was commonly used in the early to mid-20th century to describe music created by African American artists. It encompassed a wide range of genres, including blues, jazz, gospel, and early rock and roll. The term was often used in a derogatory manner to segregate music made by Black artists from mainstream, white-dominated music. Over time, the term fell out of favor as society moved towards more inclusive language and recognition of the contributions of Black musicians to American music.
